Sarah Engels (born 15 October 1992),[1] known as Sarah Lombardi from 2013 to 2021, is a German pop singer and television personality. She is best known for participating in season 8 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar, where she was eliminated from the Top 10,[2][3] only to return two shows later and eventually become the runner-up.
Engels also participated in season 7 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar but was eliminated during the recall after her duet with Eugen Flittner.[1] In season 8, she was eliminated in the first Live Show.[4] Later on, she was asked to come back because RTL chief Tom Sänger (not the voters) had eliminated Nina Richel from the show, allegedly for health reasons.[5]
Pietro Lombardi's brother posted a semi-nude picture of Engels after she had used Pietro's mobile phone to talk to girls.[6] After hearing about what Sarah had done, Lombardi's brother Marco decided to take "revenge" by sharing this semi-nude picture of Engels.[6]
Engels is of Italian descent.[7] She married Pietro Lombardi in March 2013 and changed her name from Engels to Lombardi.[8] On 19 June 2015, their son Alessio was born. She announced their separation in October 2016.[9] In November 2020 she got engaged to the soccer player Julian Büscher.[10] The couple married in May 2021 and have had Sarah Engels' birth name as their family name ever since. On 2 December 2021 their daughter Solea was born.[11]
